Well Howwwwwddddyyyyyyy!!!! I’m back!

Seems like forever since I last wrote.  Well it has been over a month.  With the holidays and work being busier than ever and school taking up a big part of my free time…  Something had to give and well this is it.

So here I am coming back at ya.  So TV since January has been OK!  I really like the new Life Unexpected.  It is a cute, funny, little show that seemed to catch me right from the first minute! 

Now that Vampire Diaries is back I am even more hooked than I was before, I actually referred to it as my Second fave show after Criminal Minds.  I am still hooked on Ice Road Truckers 2 and Ice Pilots, have to admit I have a little crush on Scott!  http://www.icepilots.com/profile_scott.php 

I have also started watching The Deep End which I am also quite liking… 

I hate to admit that even though I swore I would never watch it, I started watching Grey’s Anatomy with my Grandmother at Christmas and now I am hooked.  Of course I am watching American Idol,

and the rest of my faves, House, NCIS, Criminal Minds, The Metalist, Brothers and Sisters, Bones, Fringe… 

Survivor starts this week Woo Hoo should be good.

America’s Next Top Model is starting in March… 

What else!  Oh ya!  Those Housewives, OC and Atlanta are running at the same time, I really wish they would put the new NYC and New Jersey seasons on, I like them the best.  Mmmm mmm!  TROUBLE (in the words of Travis Tritt!) They are all trouble! 

I miss Tori and Dean.  I REALLY miss my Kate and her Eight and Table for 12

However with the Duggars back and the show being renamed 19 Kids and Counting, with the birth of little Josie Brooklyn I have something to fill the void!  I wish them the best with the journey they have ahead of them with their newest little one who was born at 1lb 6oz.  http://www.examiner.com/x-24089-TV-Examiner~y2010m2d3-Duggar-family-reveals-intimate-details-of-Josies-birth-on-Special-Duggar-Delivery

Also I am a little bit addicted to CAKE BOSS!  Did you see the full sized NASCAR cake they built, if not here it is!  http://blog.zap2it.com/kate_ohare/2010/01/the-cake-boss-takes-on-nascar-in-a-big-way.html

AND dear Jesus I miss EASTWICK!

Now as for everything else (yes TV takes up a really big part of my life) Brody and the cats are well.  James and I are trucking along better than ever.  My boss is retiring so work is kind of up in the air right now, however REALLY over the top busy!  School is also keeping me busy.  I am in the throws of completing my last course in Criminal Psych.  I have one assignment, eight profiling cases and one paper to write, before the exam and well them that’s it that’s all folks.  On the other hand, I have to complete my PMP course load and write that Provincial Exam.  I learned my lesson last semester while working full time.  Being James’ girlfriend, Brody and the cats’ Mom, a daughter, sister, a grand-daughter and friend doesn’t make it easy to complete five courses…  So this semester I took two and it is easier, so I think I will stick with that! 

Well that is about it for  now!  I will try to write more often and bring back some of Brody’s funny stories! 

Thanks,  for stickin’ with me!

So it’s been a while…

I have not watched Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) in a while but this time I started watching late in the season.  I love the Osbournes and routed for Kelly the whole way.  Until I watched Donnie Osmond’s first dance on Monday night.  Well I fell in love.  He won, Kelly came in third.  I am happy and well I will see how it goes with Season 10…  Watch or not to watch that is the question!?

Went to see New Moon this past week-end…  Not impressed.  I loved the book it was my fave of all four I read it in one day at the cottage.  The movie just didn’t do it justice!  Jake all the way for me peeps!  Not contest in my mind!  Love me some werewolves! 

Have been skimming through blog roll here some really good blogs and writing you should do the same when you have some time.

Christmas is coming the goose is getting fat, please put a penny in the old man’s hat if you haven’t got a penny a ha’penny will do if you haven’t got a ha’penny then god bless you!  Picture Miss Piggy and John Denver!  I love it.  Gotta break out the CD!!!!  I am so very excited, I am sure it is going to be a good year for us!  I have done most of the shopping only about two more to go! 

Work have been good nothing too much to report.  I for the first time actually enjoy coming to work. 

 Cell phone is busted.  Every timeJames calls it hangs up on him!  LOL!  I think it’s hilarious and it just really ticks him off!  Oh and I busted my Parking break in my car and with a manual trannie it ain’t a good thing!

 Love, happy to be in it! 

Was going to do a pic of the day but found this on YouTube instead!  And they say dogs are dumb!

Here’s a quick recipe too!  They have a new Budget wise section on Kraftfoods.com and a big Potluck section for Christmas and US thanksgiving coming!

So, I am going to the One of a Kind show with  my Mother-in-law and Grandmother this Sunday!  I have not been in years, should be fun! 

Along with the One of a Kind we used to go to the Sugar Plum Fair every year at Casa Loma, it was the National Ballet of Canada’s major fundraiser.  Kinda miss it.  We always got these chocolate and caramel covered apples from a place called Treemendous apples.  I don’t know if they still exist!

I am really very sad that  Eastwick has been cancelled it was really the only new show this season that I liked. 

Jon and Kate plus Eight signed off on Monday night!  I am really sad!  I am going to miss that show quite a bit.  STOOPIT  Jon.  Criminal Minds and Vampire Diaries have moved into my fave show category although I am really leaning towards Table for 12 as a replacement and in the end I still have 18 (soon to be 19) Kids and Counting! 

It’s kinda funny that this season I didn’t watch too much of the reality TV, I have not watched Survivor, missed a few of the Hell’s Kitchen, got board with ANTM to the point I PVR’d it and skipped to the end every week so I could just see who got kicked off!  I am getting back to the dramas except when it comes to TLC.  Oh who am  I fooling, still watching the Housewives and Tori and Dean.  Still watching Canada’s Worst Driver!  I love it!  My newly discovered Rescue Ink is GREAT too!

Had lunch with an old friend and her puppy last Friday!  It was nice!  This time of the year is always good to reconnect!  

I miss my best friend we don’t see nearly enough of each other.  Lives are too busy!

A shout of Sympathy to my long time friend MAB.  You have an angel watching down over you know.  Just know that Snoopy is with Tiny and Mowhawk now!  You will always have him in your memory! 

The loss of a loved and cherished pet is devastating especially when they are nearing their 20s.  Here is a website that helps with this…  http://www.pet-loss.net/index.shtml However you need to remember that you have to go through the stages or grief the same as you would with a Human being!  Don’t let anyone tell you any differently!  http://www.petloss.com/rainbowbridge.htm

Well that is me done!  Going to sign off now!  Have a good one!  I won’t leave it so long in between next time!
